The rest of the time in the Chu Wangfu is to eat in their own courtyard, every fifteenth day of the new year, they will have a meal together, and on the first day of the ninth month, the family also gathers together to eat, which happens to be the time when Zhao Quan comes back from the palace.

After the family had eaten, Zhao Quan began to talk about what he had seen and heard in the palace, because the king of Chu had instructed him not to inquire about things, he didn't dare to inquire, but he also knew a lot about the five princes.

"I heard from the fifth prince that the Queen Mother has loosened her mouth and wants to take the Jin Concubine Niangniang out of the cold palace!" Zhao Quan said, "He has been happy for a long time because of this matter!" Now the queen is crazy and is under house arrest in Fengqi Palace, although the three princes are recuperating in the palace, it is difficult to see each other, Qi Guifei Niangniang is not in Beijing, Concubine Yun Niangniang is not in good health and because of her low qualifications, it is difficult to convince the public because of her low qualifications and no heirs, the imperial grandmother thinks about it, and now she is afraid that she still needs to take Jin Concubine Niangniang out of the cold palace and preside over the overall situation! These things are said by the emperor's mother, and they can't be wrong! ”

He paused and said, "By the way, the fifth prince also asked me to tell your sister-in-law that Doctor Liu is at the imperial grandmother's, and now she is safe, so you don't need to worry!" ”

"I see!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, grateful for the meticulousness of the five princes.

"Whether it is the second prince or the third prince, there is no barrier in the harem, if it is really like what Quan'er said, I am afraid that His Majesty and the Queen Mother are still thinking about the second child in their hearts!" Zhao Ling said, "Quan'er, you just have to study hard, and you don't have to inquire about some things in the future!" ”

"First of all, I am no longer a child, as a member of the Chu Palace, I think I also have the obligation to do something for everyone, and then I don't want to inquire about these things, someone has to say it to me, and what I hear will be said to you, either for reminders, or if someone wants me to pass on the word, you can judge for yourself!" Zhao Quan hugged his arms and said, "Big brother, don't always treat me as a child, okay!" ”

Zhao Ling was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay, you are really promising, you are young, thoughtful, and your future is limitless!" ”

Zhao Quan raised his chin arrogantly and said, "I told you earlier, I still have the five princes and Jiang Haoran, we will definitely be the pillars of the Great Zhou in the future, if you don't believe it, let's just wait and see!" ”

Everyone was amused by the appearance of others, Jiang Xiaoyu quietly glanced at Zhao Qu, who had been silent, only to see a smile on the corner of his mouth, but looking at Zhao Quan's eyes was very complicated, a little envious, a little sneering, and a little disapproving.

Jiang Xiaoyu knew that this kid was not simple, and he needed to find a chance to test it!

If this kid has a bad heart, staying in the Chu Palace, sooner or later will give birth to disaster.

While she was pondering, Zhao Qu just turned his head and smiled kindly at Jiang Xiaoyu, the previous disdain in his eyes was gone, but there was a little more genuine kindness.

"Father, although this may be just an ordinary conversation, but you have also told me these words, I am afraid that you will also treat me as your own!" Zhao Qu said, "My son is very moved in my heart!" ”

"Since you have the blood of the Chu Palace, I won't see you too much and hide everything from you, so you are tired, and we are tired!" Zhao Ling took a sip of tea and said, "It's good that you know the proportions yourself, since you're back, cherish the opportunity, it's not easy for brothers to get together, and then you don't know when you will be able to meet!" ”

"I understand, big brother!" Zhao Qu replied cautiously.

Zhao Qu has some skills, but he doesn't know how deep he hides, seeing that his attitude towards Zhao Ling is so deferential, I am afraid that there is not much respect in his heart, this forbearance is quite similar to his previous self.

Not long after eating, someone came to the palace to announce that the king of Chu entered the palace to face the saint, His Majesty still trusts the king of Chu to a large extent, even if the king of Chu does not have an official position now, but in many major decisions, Emperor Zhou still occasionally consults the opinion of this younger brother, it can be said that the influence of the king of Chu on the emperor of Zhou is actually not inferior to the queen mother.

When the king of Chu entered the palace, several brothers gossiped with each other for a while, Zhao Qu was born as a businessman, and he was the most good at telling stories, which attracted Zhao Yang'er's interest, and Zhao Quan was a little fascinated.

Jiang Xiaoyu peeled an orange, shaved her muscles and handed it to Zhao Ling, her eyes rolled, she didn't say hello, picked up an orange on the side and greeted Zhao Qu, the orange hit his head, he turned his head in astonishment and asked, "Sister-in-law, this is?" ”

"This orange is sweet, you can taste it too!" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a slight embarrassment.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

After talking for a while, Zhao Ling and his wife left first, Zhao Ling took Jiang Xiaoyu's hand and asked with a smile: "Your state today is a little wrong!" ”

"I think Zhao Qu knows kung fu, and his kung fu is not shallow! I threw an orange at him today, and a normal person would have noticed it, but he gave me the feeling that he was deliberate! Jiang Xiaoyu said, "He has a lot of secrets hidden in his body!" ”

"If you don't have hidden kung fu, you will know if you try him!" The corners of Zhao Ling's mouth hooked slightly, "After he came back, I understood my father, after all, he was flesh and blood, but he couldn't hear a few words of truth in his mouth, I had the heart to recognize this brother, but he may not be willing to treat me as a big brother!" ”

"If there is no harm, he is just a little cautious, I am afraid that he will bring other dangers!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "In terms of the current situation, with him, I'm afraid that I have to guard against him, so it's better to keep him away from the capital for the time being, and let him come back after the situation is stable!" ”

"Silly girl, do you still think he is the child who let him be manipulated back then, and let him stay away from the capital? He can now completely disrely on the Chu Palace, so the rules of the Chu Palace's Mansion are not of much use to him, and let's talk about it after looking at his purpose! ”

The Imperial Study.

"Brother Minister, Brother Huang!" The king of Chu bowed.

"Coming? No need to be polite, get up! Emperor Zhou said lightly.

"Brother Huang is painting? It's been a long time since I've seen you feel this interest! King Chu smiled faintly.

"Let's see what I've drawn?" Emperor Zhou said with a smile.

The king of Chu stepped forward, looked at it, frowned slightly, and asked, "The imperial brother painted the imperial sister-in-law?" ”

"In addition to her and her mother, is there any woman in this world who is worthy of my writing?" Emperor Zhou said lightly, "Her appearance in my mind has never been blurred, but I can't draw her style anymore!" Your relationship with her back then was also very good, and I asked you to come and see what went wrong. ”

"The painting of the imperial brother is naturally vivid, but people's memories will gradually dim with time after all, and the imperial sister-in-law painted by the imperial brother is no different from His Majesty's past paintings, and the change is just the imperial brother's mind."

"Oh?" Emperor Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't ask any more questions, he put down his pen, "Ever since I knew that he was still alive and returned to the capital, I have been wondering if I did something wrong back then!" ”

"Your Majesty is the emperor of the Great Zhou, and Your Majesty will never go wrong!" The king of Chu hugged his fists.

"It's just a matter of others talking about it, you don't say it, I'm just a mortal!" Emperor Zhou smiled, "So I really hope he can meet him, talk to him, and talk about whether I really did something wrong!" But you say that I can't make a mistake, but you don't think so in your heart, otherwise a Jiang Xiaoyu, you won't rush to shelter, you are so, your son is like this, and even my son is the same! ”

"Brother Huang!" King Chu's face changed and he hurriedly knelt down, "The younger brother doesn't dare to have this intention, Xiaoyu is the child that the deceased wife likes, and the younger brother loves the house and Wu, as for the prince, it is just because of the previous affection between the two, and the second prince is just looking at the face of the prince!" ”

"Get up, I'm just talking to you!" Emperor Zhou said lightly, "What do you think about the poisoning of the third child?" ”

"Since the results of the investigation have not yet come out, the younger brother does not dare to speak falsely?"

"Have you ever suspected that the second child did it?" Emperor Zhou asked.

King Chu lowered his eyes and thought for a while and said: "With his brother's understanding of the second prince, he is benevolent and acts fairly, so he doesn't seem to be such a person!" ”

"I don't believe it either!" Emperor Zhou sighed, "It's just that the other people of the Manchu Dynasty don't believe it, and the Imperial Forest Army's gang of waste investigators have not found evidence that can prove the innocence of the second child, so I have to give an explanation to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military!" ”

"Your Majesty has decided?" King Chu frowned slightly.

"Yes, it's decided!" Emperor Zhou sighed, "It's just that after this incident, I'm afraid that this matter of establishing a prince will be delayed again, and I will talk about it after the impact of this matter has passed!" ”

"Brother Huang is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it will be no big problem to establish a prince in a few days!" King Chu clenched his fists and said.

"But the second child will not be wronged in vain, Concubine Jin has been in the cold palace for a few days, I plan to release her, after all, the fifth child is still young and needs someone to take care of her, and the affairs of this harem also need to be taken care of......"

"Why don't you let Concubine Qi return to the palace?"

Emperor Zhou's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "She, she still has other things to do!" ”

The king of Chu was stunned for a moment, could it be that His Majesty asked the concubine to leave the palace because he had something to do?

Emperor Zhou picked up a few books on the case table again, and sneered: "Look, this is a petition submitted by the rest of the eldest grandson's family, and everyone says that they are guilty and want to be guilty of the same crime as the Marquis of Dingjun!" The day before yesterday, he was still kneeling at the gate of Fengxi Palace and crying, telling his guilt, and asking the Queen Mother to comfort her, but today there are a few more letters to be submitted, guess what, this eldest grandson family uses the military power in his hands to do a traitorous business! But when it's funny, this letter is handed over together with the letter of guilt of the Marquis of Dingjun, the prophet of the uncertain death of the Marquis of Dingjun, confessed to his plot of assassination in the book of guilt, and even admitted the matter of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and also wrote that he was the only one who did it, and had nothing to do with the others of the eldest grandson's family! ”
